Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.

This week in class, we’re reading "French and Indian War" by USHistory.org.

In "French and Indian War," this informational text recounts the history of the French and Indian War and how it played out between its three combatants: France, Great Britain, and the native people of North America.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of America and War & Peace as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"How has America changed over time?" and "How are we changed by war?"

Ways to support your child:

  • Ask your child about this informational text at home:
    • What was "French and Indian War" about?
    • What did you learn about America?
    • What did you learn about War & Peace?
  • Watch French and Indian War Changes Fate of America at home with your child.
